Stardust

1929
Music by Hoagy Carmichael
Lyrics by Mitchell Parish

Sometimes I wonder, how I spend
The lonely nights
Dreaming of a song
The melody
Haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
The nightingale
Tells his fairytale
Of paradise, where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love’s refrain.
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
